A man in a saffron-orange robe with a white and red flower garland stands barefoot on the wooden steps of a decorated ratha, a temple chariot. The carved white stone shrine structure on the cart has ornate pillars and a foliate cornice, with a painted wooden side panel to the right. The man's dark, long hair falls past his shoulders and he looks downward while stepping up. Trees and a building are visible in the background. Possible identity cues: long hair, saffron clothing, garland, and ceremonial dress; appearance is suggestive but not conclusive, so the a person value is unsure.

A figure in an orange robe with a white and red flower garland stands on the ratham's platform in the doorway. Wooden steps labelled SOUNDHORN lead up to the platform, and gold-painted side panels flank the chariot. Trees and a tiled building appear at the edges.2006-09-19A barefoot man in an orange-saffron robe stands centrally on a raised platform before an ornate grey stone shrine canopy carved with floral friezes, a deity relief above and an om-like emblem panel on a pillar. He wears a white and red flower garland with a red floral pendant at the chest and has long dark hair. A sign reading SOUNDHORN is on the step below. A partly visible person in red stands at the right edge. Trees and scaffolding poles frame the outdoor scene.2006-09-19A barefoot man in a saffron-orange hooded wrap and sleeveless orange garment stands on a white platform beside a copper pillar draped with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a purple-green flower string. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hands are held at his sides as he looks downward. Palm fronds and orange flower sprays hang above, and fresh petals lie on the platform near his feet. The setting suggests a ritual or festival event, but no specific ritual is clearly visible. a person identification is uncertain: the figure's saffron attire and gold necklace are cues, but the face is not clearly identifiable from the image alone.2010-01-02 +1 copiesSeptember 19 20062006-09-19September 26 20062006-09-26December 30 20062006-12-30August 06 20092009-08-06A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe standing barefoot on a richly decorated golden throne covered with red cushions and garlands of red roses, white jasmine and yellow marigolds. A thick red-and-white garland hangs around his neck, and a rudraksha mala rests on his chest; he has long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead. Beside the throne, a man in white ritual clothing and a white shirt with a dark cord around his neck stands near a gold-and-yellow flower-wrapped staff. A golden lion figure supports the throne base. The setting is a temple or pandal with a corrugated white roof and metal trusses overhead. The man on the throne has distinctive long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues matching the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2006-12-30
